Hey guys, new to the forum and e-readers in general, recently I received my new Kindle 3 (January 29th 2011) in less than a week I have had some concerns over the battery life. When I first got the device I loaded ~990 books in mobi format, a friend gave me the books, after reading a short book (277 pages) I saw the exclamation point over the battery, figuring the unit only had a small charge from the factory and assumed that it needed an initial charge, that night I plugged the kindle into the wall. The next day I get up pull the Kindle out and have a full charge (wifi off) I did some browsing of the new device over breakfast and put the unit in my bag later that day I open it up and see I have lost around 1/4 of the battery. I understand the Kindle needs time to index those books so once the battery got down to ! I recharged, I believe that was Feb 2nd, all day yesterday I had the unit in my bag but I probably only flipped through about 20 pages simply due to schedule constraints this morning I am checking my battery and I am down to 1/4
. I understand again that the unit has to index and that this sucks down battery but in truth I am only using about 33% of the units available space I cannot fathom this thing really takes 6 days to index about 1 gig of files when it clearly is sucking juice 24 hours a day to do so. So my question is should I send the thing back to Amazon or wait it out?
